Is SAT II Lit really that hard?

I’d say that getting to 760, 770 is pretty clear. The last 30 or 40 are mostly subjective. But you do have to remember that even if a question is subjective, lit. is one of those subjects that you can get right even if the answer is subjective if you are good enough at it. You just kind of feel the right answer, even if you can’t definitely point to one thing that makes it right or wrong. And yes, you’re right, you really can’t study for lit. Lit. is something that you have to know through practice. There is no “study strategy” that will boost your score bigtime. I think that is good, mostly because I love literature, so my 790 looks better.
